Emthonjeni Trust gives support to people living with HIV and AIDS
in the Eastern Cape in South Africa, particularly to a community where poverty and
unemployment prevail and the rate of HIV infection remains alarmingly high.

almost entirely on charitable organisations for all its funds.

live healthy lives free from prejudice and discrimination and where HIV infection
rates are considerably reduced.
